In the depths of my choices, I lost a dear friend,
A close companion, a bond I thought would never end.
With each twist and turn, I led us astray,
And in the aftermath, she slowly slipped away.

It was my reckless nature, my careless ways,
That caused the rift, the growing divide that stays.
I watched as bridges burned, our connection frayed,
And the pain of losing her, it never truly fades.

But in the midst of darkness, a glimmer appeared,
A new friend emerged, wiping away the tears.
She stood tall and steady, a beacon of light,
A friendship so pure, so effortlessly right.

She listened without judgment, with an open heart,
And in her presence, I found a fresh start.
She embraced my flaws, my imperfect parts,
And with her, I felt seen, as if I belonged from the start.

Her laughter was contagious, her spirit so bright,
A kindred soul who filled my world with delight.
She reminded me of joy, of the beauty in life,
And in her company, I banished my strife.

For she was different, one hundred percent,
A friend like no other, a treasure heaven-sent.
In her, I found solace, a friendship so true,
And I cherish her dearly, as she cherishes me too.

So, though I lost a close friend, my heart still grieves,
I gained another, a friend who never leaves.
And in this journey of life, with its twists and its bends,
I am grateful for the friend who makes amends.
